The excreta management of elderly patients treated by chemotherapy is not regularly dealt by a pragmatic process depending cancer treatments. It involves identifying the excreta toxicity, including their chemical classification, cytotoxic nature, renal or fecal exposition time of the drugs. Protective measures must be described to avoid the risk of contact with potentially contaminated excreta by anticancer drugs or their metabolites. To reduce the risk, information and training are essential. Medical monitoring professionals must be specific. The information must be extended to the patient and his entourage.

Source segregation and treatment of urine and faeces from dairy cattle reduces GHG and NH emissions in covered storage.

Managing dairy excreta as slurry can result in significant emissions of ammonia (NH) and greenhouse gases (GHGs) during storage and thereafter. Additionally, slurry often has an imbalanced nitrogen (N) to phosphorus (P) ratio for crop fertilization. While various treatments exist to address emissions and nutrient imbalances, each has trade-offs that can result in pollution swapping.

Invasive parasites that expand their natural range can be a threat to wildlife biodiversity and may pose a health risk to non-adapted, naive host species. The invasive giant liver fluke, , native to North America, has extended its range in Europe and uses mainly red deer () as definitive hosts. The penetration of the intestinal barrier by the young flukes to reach the liver via the abdominal cavity as well as the release of fluke metabolism products and excreta with the bile and/or changes in the microbial community of the biliary system may enable the translocation of intestinal bacteria across the intestinal barrier and, in turn, could be associated with inflammation and changes in the intestinal bacterial community.

The study evaluated the impact of relaxation music on the production performance, welfare, and blood parameters of broiler chickens. Literature indicates that specific music genres, as environmental enrichment, can improve animal welfare and production outcomes. The research involved 1,200 Ross 308 chickens divided into control (C) and experimental (M) groups.

There is an important gap in how variations in herbivore dung composition affect GHG emissions on pastures, especially due to differences in dry matter (DM) and nitrogen contents. Oversimplifications can compromise the accuracy of mitigation strategies. This study aims to address this gap by investigating how the chemical composition of dung from different species influences GHG emissions in pasture systems.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effects of dietary saffron petal extract on laying hens over 12 weeks, focusing on egg quality, blood metabolites, and odor emissions from waste.
- Results revealed that while egg protein, fat, and ash content remained mostly unchanged, a significant reduction in yolk cholesterol was observed, along with improved egg production in hens fed the 80 ppm saffron diet.
- Supplementation with saffron petal extract also lowered serum cholesterol and blood glucose levels, but did not significantly affect feed intake or mineral excretion.
